NAME
jd - DOS client for Direct protocol mode in PPRD
SYNOPSIS
jd
[-Pn] [-Hhost] [-Bportbase] [file]
DESCRIPTION
jd
is a client programs that print files to a PPRD server in Direct
protocol mode. The job is sent as a TCP data stream ended by closing
the connection. The advantage of this protocol is that the size of the
job does not need to be known in advance, which could be used to
advantage in a print redirector. It is more efficient because there are
fewer transactions than in the LPD protocol.
jd
prints the specified file or standard input if none is specified.
INSTALLATION
pprd
requires: a network interface card and a FTP Software specification
Packet Driver for it, and a valid WATTCP configuration file,
WATTCP.CFG. WATTCP.CFG must be in the current directory or in the
directory where
jd.exe
is installed, or pointed to by the WATTCP_CFG environment variable.
